Ok. A comment just before the _INSTALL_STAGING line would be useful, then, because for a "utils" package, we don't necessarily expect to have a library in it. > I've read somewhere on ML you was working also on udisks package. > Was it successful? It was a looong time ago. I think I managed to get udisks to build, but I hadn't had the time to do some real testing with it: I was first doing some testing of polkit, which is a dependency of udisks. I've put online the 3 patches I had done at that time (note that they are old: they still use the old AUTOTARGETS macro name), see: http://free-electrons.com/~thomas/pub/udisks-buildroot/ Best regards, Thomas -- Thomas Petazzoni, Free Electrons Kernel, drivers, real-time and embedded Linux development, consulting, training and support. http://free-electrons.com
